Housing Studies Managing Editors’ statement
Intermediaries and mediators
Online platforms have become central to the operation of the housing market in the UK and elsewhere. This paper extends recent scholarship on the impacts of ‘the digital’ on housing outcomes by assessing the ‘performative’ ability of property platforms to maintain and construct market practices. Using actor-network theory, a distinction is made between platforms as intermediaries that advertise properties and link different parties to a transacti…
New housing association development and its potential to reduce concentrations of deprivation
Social housing across Western Europe has become significantly more residualised as governments concentrate on helping vulnerable households. Many countries are trying to reduce the concentrations of deprivation by building for a wider range of households and tenures. In England this policy has two main strands: (1) including other tenures when regenerating areas originally built as mono-tenure social housing estates and (2) introducing social ren…
The Social Value of Housing in Straitened Times
This paper provides a commentary on the contemporary housing crisis in England and links it to broader questions of role of housing in capitalist economies and societies. It starts with the assumptions that housing and community development issues are linked to the wider housing market and that the housing crisis is not new but has long-run antecedents. The paper begins by reviewing the contemporary terrain of housing markets and policies in the …
Travel to School and Housing Markets
How children travel to school is at the centre of a complex set of interrelated issues with significant policy implications. This paper reviews the relation of patterns of travel to school to concerns about public health, school choice, urban form, and residential housing markets. The spatial relations between pupils' homes and the schools that they attend provides the basis of an analytical framework that links local neighbourhood characteristic…
Knowing the Area
Compared with the management of social rented housing in Britain, comparatively little is known about how private landlords manage their property, despite their increasing importance. This paper reports results from a recent survey in Scotland which shows that landlords restrict the acquisition of property close to where they themselves live to manage the market and business risks they face. This is because their personal knowledge of markets is …
Conceptualising Social Housing within the Wider Housing Market
There have been increasing calls for studies of housing systems that are more integrative and pluralistic in nature. Understanding the relationship of social housing systems to the wider housing market remains a key challenge. The mobility of households and the structural configuration of supply are both of importance, demanding methods able to reconcile both. This paper propounds vacancy chain models as offering significant potential in this reg…
The housing and neighbourhood impacts of knowledge-based economic development following industrial closure
Economic development initiatives following large-scale industrial closures often seek to regenerate the local economy through investment in technology and knowledge-intensive activities. The resulting changes in the make-up of the local workforce are in turn likely to generate new forms of demand for housing; demand that will not necessarily be met by the residential offer of the neighbourhoods worst affected by the initial closure. This paper ex…
